Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 When wearing the cavalry sash during the Civil War and Indian War era, is the sash worn over or under the sword belt. Appreciate comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt Dan Blodgett, SASS #75655 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 For most of the Indian War period after the implementation of the 1872 regs the sash was only worn by General Officers and the Officer of the Day. The officer of the day wore the sash across the body and over the shoulder. During the Civil War period all officers wore sashes with dress uniforms and the undress frock coat (shoulder straps vs epaulettes) when worn the sword belt buckled over the sash.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 IW Cav Uniforms No sash. Save yer money for the fancy helmet. For CW, the sash was worn under the sword belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
